Actually, when my great grandfather died a bit more than ten years ago, my aunt sang the song in his memorial party. I don't think he knew Tolkien, but she loves LotR and she thought the lyrics very appropriate (my great grandfather was quite old when he died, I think he made it to 94 or something like that). And as for the melody, a Finnish theatre performed a piece of LotR in 1989 (?) and they composed several of the songs, so that's where she got it from. I was quite young then but I remember the occasion.
